Never having to worry about condoms is such a great plus. I had a lot of pain in the first six months and three 11+ day periods. Afterwards, my periods have stopped totally and I only get the occasional cramp, akin to an ovulation cramp. My libido has decreased slightly and my breast have gotten bigger. Overall it’s been a great help in my sex life

The lack of periods has been nice. But I experiences a dramatic decrease in sex drive from the moment it was put it and it takes a lot to turn me on. 12 months in, I noticed a lot of hairs drop happening and now my hair is notably thinner with a lot of breaks - I'm considering whipping it out.

Jaydess is okay but not for me I’d say. It was painful to put in and I bled for 5 months straight, I bled heavily until I was taken for a scan and it did stop a week before the scan. But the scan then disturbed my uterus and I started bleeding again for around a month. Since then I have gained over 10kg, I don’t get period at all but I do get the PMS symptoms. No spots but I do get abdominal pain here and there. Whenever I have stomach pains they are 5 times as worse due to the coil. I never had these problems before… I am scared to have it taken out because I know it will hurt lol but otherwise it is effective and prevents pregnancy just not a fan of the other health problems I now have because of it.
